We help transforming lives through equine-assisted trauma therapy
Our small peer groups and individual sessions allow participants a safe space to explore themselves and discover what tools work best for them.
Equine-Assisted Services (EAS)
Our Trauma Informed Equine Assisted Services (EAS) provide a healing environment utilizing equine activities; interactive horse and ranch activities and hands-on horse care, transforming the youth into positive emotionally healthy individuals.
The natural ability of horses to pick up on human emotional expressions enhances the effectiveness of EAS. Patient, perceptive, and attuned to fear, anger, agitation, and despair, horses are attune to human moods in a nonjudgmental way. As the horse and person bond, a healthy connection via self-awareness grows resulting in emotional healing. Our unique curriculum rebuilds healthy neuron pathways for positive resilience moving forward in our client’s lives.
Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL)
Our EAL program is centered on the concept that by building a working relationship with a horse, any participant can develop important skills that can translate to all aspects of their daily lives. The building of the relationship is the main focus of our program. This relationship is facilitated by our trained and certified practitioners who assist the participant in recognizing the non-verbal communication that horses use every day.
Horses being herd animals react strongly to the body language and behavior of those around them. This can lead to self-reflection in the participant, which is important for personal growth.
HeartMath Trauma Informed Care
The HeartMath theory integrated into the practices of Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Cedars Sinai, NASA and the Department of Veterans' Affairs for over 25 years, HeartMath Institute has been researching the heart-brain connection and learning how the heart influences our perceptions, emotions, intuition and health. The program helps kids tap into the power and intelligence of their heart which awakens them to the best version of themselves. Tuning into the heart’s wisdom creates a profound shift within that helps children approach situations with more emotional balance, compassion, clarity and personal confidence.
Our facilitators are trained and certified in various equine-assisted therapy techniques.
